Patent EP-0878694-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MESCH FRANZ PROF DR-ING
IPC: G01F1/58
Filed: 1997-05-15
Abstract: The flowmeter comprises an electrically isolated measurement pipe (1), through which a conducting fluid flows. A coil pair (23,24) is arranged across a diameter (3) of the pipe with a current supply (i) for generating a magnetic field. Also arranged around the pipe are three pairs of electrodes (41-46), which produce electric fields at 45 degrees to each other. The electric field of the first pair of electrodes is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The circuit for processing the voltages from the three electrode pairs uses between 0.1 and 0.7 times the potential of the second and third electric fields, together with the full potential of the first electrode pair. The electrodes are isolated from the pipe wall but are in electrical contact with the fluid flowing through the measurement tube.

Abstract: La présente invention a pour objet un procédé et un kit simples et présentant un bon rapport coût-efficacité pour enrichir une ou plusieurs cellules cibles provenant d'une population de cellules mélangées. Selon l'invention, les cellules cibles sont détectées par un agent de détection qui se fixe à un constituant intracellulaire de la cellule cible, par exemple, un acide nucléique, un peptide, une protéine, etc., dans le cytoplasme placé en dessous de la membrane cellulaire externe ou de la paroi cellulaire externe. Les cellules détectées sont ensuite concentrées à partir de la population de cellules mélangées à l'aide d'un système de support en phase solide qui peut comprendre un système d'affinité ou de magnétisme immunitaires. Les cellules enrichies peuvent ensuite être identifées et visualisées par un agent d'identification et un système de génération de signaux. La présente invention concerne également un procédé pour augmenter la sensibilité de l'enrichissement des cellules à partir d'une population mélangée de cellules en amplifiant un constituant intracellulaire sélectionné de la cellule cible avant son enrichissement.

Abstract: The garment is held under tension during the simultaneous imaging and insertion or removal of the garment on the support or mould. The method used a fixed camera and illumination source. A visual inspection process for tubular textile garments such as socks, sleeves, stockings or tights (2) comprises a step in which the garment is placed on or removed from a support (1) or mould, and a computerised visual inspection step where images of the garment are processed in order to detect defects. These two steps are carried out simultaneously by subjecting the garment to a predetermined tension within an inspection region (24), this tension remaining constant throughout the process and creating a uniform structure within the textile material (23), such that the distance between two warp or weft yarns will always be less than a portion of any of the defects being detected. An independent claim is also included for the visual inspection system used, which includes a fixed, linear or matrix CCD or CMOS camera and a fixed illumination source.

Abstract: A scanning electron microscope has means (1, 3) for generating a beam of electrons which is scanned over a specimen (11) held within a holder (12) in a chamber (5) which contains a gaseous medium. A negative potential is applied to the holder (12) so as to generate an electric field which accelerates secondary electrons, formed by the interaction of the primary beam with the specimen (11), in a direction away from the specimen surface and into a collision zone (21) in the chamber. In that zone, the accelerated secondary electrons collide with gas molecules of the gaseous medium, thereby initiating a cascade of collisions which, in effect, amplifies the secondary electron signal. That signal (which may take the form of photons generated as a result of the collisions) is detected by detecting means (10, 7), such as a photo-multiplier.

Abstract: A spring unit comprises a continuous coil spring (5) contained within a sleeve (26) of strong, yet flexible, material. The unit is produced by providing a folding attachment device (2) having oppositely inclined spaced walls (13, 14) which converge from a feed end (3) to an outlet end (4), and simultaneously drawing the flexible material and the coil spring through the folding attachment device from the feed end to the outlet end with the spaced walls acting to fold the material over the coil spring and to apply a substantially uniform compressive force to the coil spring. As the material and the spring are drawn through the outlet end (4), overlapping edges of the flexible material are joined together to complete the spring unit.

Abstract: A head support assembly for a disk drive is a head suspension
assembly connected to an actuator arm at one end and supporting a head at
the other end, wherein a projection (47) is formed on a flexure (14)
closely fixed on a thin-plate load beam (12), the projection projecting
toward a disk surface and having a smooth surface. The projection is
formed at a region somewhat close to the head supporting end from the
hinge portion of the load beam. When shock is applied to the disk drive,
bending occurs around the hinge portion (45) of the load beam. During
such bending, the projection having a smooth round surface is caused to
contact the disk, whereby the disk surface is prevented from being
damaged.

Cet appareil d'électrodésionisation comprend des compartiments d'électrolyte, des compartiments de concentration et de réduction d'ions, contenant un milieu électroactif. Il est possible d'opérer un changement réversible sur les propriétés chimiques ou électriques de ce milieu électroactif par application d'un champ électrique extérieur, ou de la présence d'une substance chargée électriquement. Ce changement des propriétés chimiques ou électriques du milieu résulte en un changement voulu dans les propriétés chimiques ou de transport du milieu. L'incorporation du milieu électroactif amélioré permet également d'obtenir un procédé d'électrodésionisation amélioré et plus fiable, dans des applications requérant un milieu résistant aux produits chimiques et à une température élevée, où des changements localisés de pH seraient néfastes au produit en cours de désionisation, dans des conditions chimiques et de température propres au liquide à traiter, ou dans des circonstances où un milieu classique aurait tendance à s'encrasser.

Abstract: A generic disc brake caliper (1) comprises a hydraulic operating device (7) consisting of a brake cylinder (8) and a brake piston (9) that is movably fitted therein. The brake piston (9) is sealed in relation to the brake cylinder (8) by means of a seal ring (10) that is placed in a circumferential ring groove (11) of the brake cylinder (8). In addition to causing a sealing effect, said seal ring (10) has the task of drawing back the brake piston (9) in the brake cylinder (8) after the brakes have been applied in order to produce a release play between a brake pad (3, 4) and a disc brake (2). According to the invention, the ring groove (11) comprises a recess (16) which is placed in the transit zone between a groove wall (14) and the surface of the cylinder (12). The contour line (17) defining the cross-section of the recess goes from the groove wall (14) of the ring groove (11) starting at a convex curved section (18) and runs past a concave curved section (19). This ensures a uniform and constant release play between brake pad (3, 4) and brake disc (2) almost independently from hydraulic pressure.
